Starving Child 'Witch' Photo Taken By Anja Ringgren Lovén In Nigeria Is Heartbreaking

Heartbreaking pictures of a naked, starving child in Nigeria "accused of being a witch" have been shared widely on social media.

Images of the severely emaciated boy being given water by a humanitarian volunteer worker shows the devastating effects superstition in the country can have on those accused of possessing supernatural powers.

It is not clear what happened to his family, but Anja's organisation uses education "to break superstition in Nigeria, which is the reason why many children and young people accused of being witches are tortured, expelled, die of their injuries or killed by the local community".
